what is your hesitation about president obama? caller: i initially voted for hillary clinton. i did not vote for obama because i thought he was a little naive. i think that he went into the white house too early. not that i did not think he could do a good job, but he had not been there long enough to know certain things. he really believed he could change washington. he had not been there long enough to know he could never change the republican party leaders. he definitely did not see the tea party coming. that's the reason i could not support him. i fall in line with issues mostly. i am kind of on the fence now and probably leaning towards obama, because romney is all over the place, talking loud and saying nothing. i cannot get anyone who does not understand basic principles when it comes to people. that strikes me. i would rather deal with the devil that i know. host: what are your top issues? caller: i am so frustrated. my top issues are the economy and jobs. i cannot get over that he cannot pass a jobs bill when the republican party says we will not do anything to help y

president obama tucked away the clinton doctrine in his large drawer of discarded ideas, along with transparency and bipartisanship. [applause] it's enough to make you wonder if maybe it was a personal beef with the clintons. but really it runs much deeper. president obama is an old school liberal whose first instinct is to see free enterprise as the villain and government as the hero. america counted on president obama to rescue the economy, tame the deficit and help create jobs. instead, he bailed out the public-sector, gave billions of dollars to the companies of his friends, and added almost as much debt as all the prior presidents combined. the consequence is that we are enduring the most tepid recovery in modern history. the consequence is that half of the kids graduating from college can't find a job that uses their skills. half. the consequence is that retirees can no longer get by on savings and social security. the consequence is that the length of time it takes an unemployed worker to find a job is the longest on record. this is why even those who voted for barack obama are disappoint
